Off White Indie Wedding Show: Off White is the brainchild of Brea McAnally, owner of Brea Photography in St. Louis MO.

Off White Wedding Show features vendors to serve all aspects of the wedding event- from planning to organic caterers to custom designed wedding gowns, vintage suits, all with an emphasis on handmade, eco-friendly, lgbt-friendly and truly personal services. Be one of the first 100 to arrive and receive a goodie bags from Tiny Little Monster. Tickets are $10 and include drink specials, savory and sweet treat samples, attendance prizes, demos and more.
